Lan Baobao finished eating the noodles, hugged Brother Mu, and rubbed her mouth against his face, saying, "What topic do you want to discuss with Daddy?"
Ye Zixun smiled meaningfully and said, "Our son is about to enter a curious age. He is starting to take an interest in some things. Son, let me discuss these things with you properly. Daddy promises he can help you understand them well!"
The two of them exchanged smiles, while Lan Baobao felt something was off but didn't dare to ask, so she let them be.
"It's getting late. Mommy will take you back to sleep. Let's go!"
"Lan Baobao, so you were playing this kind of trick on me, you dead woman!"
Pan Xinzi held the remote control, and the news channel on TV had been broadcasting news about the engagement of the Ye Family heir since early morning. Pan Xinzi had met Ye Zixun a few times and had some business dealings with him, but Ye Zixun was too arrogant and generally looked down on him. Pan Xinzi wasn't very interested in his engagement ceremony.
However...
"I really didn't expect that Lan Baobao ended up with Ye Zixun! You really can't judge a book by its cover. Darling, her child seems to be almost five years old, which means that before your engagement, they must have..."
"Enough!" Pan Xinzi's forehead throbbed with veins, and his eyes were bloodshot.
How could she betray him? She was not Lan Baobao's; she was not Lan Baobao's! How could she find a wild man outside? I don't believe it; I refuse to believe that Lan Baobao would betray me!
Pan Xinzi crumpled the newspaper, and Mo Mo looked at him coldly and sneered, "It seems you still don't believe they are fooling around together. I told you long ago that this woman is not pure! But that's all nonsense now; Lan Baobao is already Ye Zixun's fiancée. If she doesn't marry you, you won't get your inheritance. At that time, your family's assets will go to your cousin, and we will lose a huge sum of money! What are we going to do?"
"What to do? Isn't Ye Zixun very capable? I'll send him a dozen women. That annoying baby is playing both sides; I don't believe she will still follow Ye Zixun!"
Mo Mo was unconcerned, leaning against him while blowing air on Pan Xinzi's neck and said, "They've even had a child now; we can't separate them anymore. Do you want to pick up a broken shoe to wear?"
"What about you? I absolutely cannot let Lan Baobao become someone else's!"
Pan Xinzi has grown up with Lan Baobao. Even if in the end he chooses that dubious woman, Mo Mo, in his heart, Lan Baobao will always be his possession. Even if he doesn't want her, no one else can have her.
Over the past five years, Pan Xinzi has thought countless times about how Lan Baobao would regret leaving him and how she would want to return to his side. Yet, she surprisingly gave birth to two children for Ye Zixun.
"She is mine! Even if I have to shatter myself, I won't give her to anyone! Ye Zixun, you bastard, I won't let you take what belongs to me!"
Mo Mo's heart gradually turned cold. She stood up with a forced smile and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside. A cold sneer appeared on her face as she hated Lan Baobao to the core.
Why should everything belong to her? Her parents died and left her enough inheritance to live for twenty or thirty years. Later, she was taken in by the Pan family. Although the Pan family took a lot of money from her, she still received considerable care. Pan Xinzi's father was out of his mind; if he wanted to die, then so be it, but he actually left behind a worthless will.
Without marrying Lan Baobao, he wouldn't inherit anything; he wouldn't even get a share of the company.
Mo Mo knew that Pan Xinzi's father didn't like her at all, but why was he so biased towards Lan Baobao?
They were both orphans; what made Lan Baobao better than her?
She couldn't accept it; she just couldn't swallow this anger.
Staring at Lan Baobao on the television screen, still as young and beautiful as five years ago, time had left no marks on her face. Instead, she seemed to have gained more charm. Everything she wore, from her clothes to her shoes, from the diamond necklace around her neck to the diamond ring on her hand, each piece could blind others with its brilliance.
Mo Mo's eyes were almost red with anger.
Lan Baobao, I swear, I will never lose to you, and I will never let you go!
"Achoo!"
Far away by the seaside, Lan Baobao had just disembarked from the cruise ship when she let out a big sneeze. Ye Zixun shot her a disdainful glance and said, "There are still reporters around, pay attention to your image!"
"Mommy has never cared about her image!" Ruo Ruo chimed in while leaning on Ye Zixun's shoulder.
"Someone must be missing me from afar!"
A shadow flickered in front of Lan Baobao, and Mu Jiangfeng looked at her with tired eyes from the crowd. Lan Baobao cheerfully waved at him, but he smiled faintly and turned his head away.
She was taken aback. What was wrong with him today? He seemed a bit downcast. Did he not sleep well last night? Or was he angry with her?
It made sense; such a big event as her engagement was known only to Li Xiaoran. Mu Jiangfeng was her superior and had always taken care of her. She should have informed him first!
Suddenly, Lan Baobao felt a pang of guilt. She definitely owed Mu Jiangfeng an apology, but by the time she thought to find him, Mu Jiangfeng had already disappeared into the crowd.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing. Xiao Xiao, is it a bit unethical that I've only told you about my engagement?"
"It is a little, but there's still the wedding to think about, so what's there to worry about! Just don't forget to give me my wedding gift!"
At the wedding of the Ye Group, Li Xiaoran didn't know how much she should give to save face. The best approach was to just hold off on giving anything for now; if she could play coy, she would.
"Hey, Mom, I'm going out to eat! Yes, there's something I need to discuss with you. Okay, I'll hang up now and head back!" Mu Jiangfeng hung up the phone, burying her head in the car for a long time without lifting it.
What could make her smile so brightly today? In the past, her smiles were reserved for her two children, but now her smile was so radiant, filled with happiness and sweetness. Was it because of Ye Zixun?
She was already a mother of two, bringing her children to find their father. It was a good thing they could be together, but her heart felt so sour and sad...
"There’s only one month left until the wedding, baby. Do you know how much I don’t want you to marry him?"
Lan Baobao's right eye was twitching uncontrollably. She covered her eyes and hid in the bathroom, taking a few deep breaths. She had been forcing a smile in front of others all night, and now she suddenly felt that even the air in the bathroom was sweet.
Li Xiaoran had been staring at the dazzling lights all night and was now resting her head on Lan Baobao's shoulder in a daze. "Baby, do you think we might get into trouble?"
"What trouble? Is your eyelid twitching? That's just superstition; don’t believe it!"
"I'm not talking about that. I'm worried about Pan Xinzi and Yan Momo." Li Xiaoran whispered next to her, ensuring no one was in the restroom before continuing, "Your news is all over the television now. You're a celebrity these days—an ordinary girl turned wealthy wife; what a great story! Pan Xinzi and Yan Momo must have heard about it! I'm 100% supporting you, but Ye Zixun doesn’t seem like a kind-hearted person. If he finds out you were Pan Xinzi's fiancée before, will he explode?"
Lan Baobao nodded. She had been shrouded in this vague sense of unease. Li Xiaoran continued to daydream, "But in just one month, you'll be Mrs. Ye! By then, Pan Xinzi's family business will be nothing compared to yours! You'll have money and can do whatever you want—collect seven or eight handsome men who are all better looking than Pan Xinzi! Just imagine all those handsome guys trailing behind you; it would drive him crazy!"
"Yes, yes! Even better if each of them is shirtless and wearing leather pants while I hold a whip in my hand! Whether I'm happy or not, I can whip them a few times. In the end, when Ye Zixun sees it, he’ll be the one whipping me!"
Li Xiaoran swallowed hard; she couldn't quite picture Ye Zixun's handsome face wielding a whip against someone else. However, she was already sweating coldly at the thought of it. It was clear how influential Ye Zixun's cold demeanor could be.
"Well, I guess I’ll have to peel off a layer of your skin before you stop."
"It’s not just a layer of skin; it’s a life. Our contract..." Lan Baobao cautiously glanced around and leaned closer to Li Xiaoran's ear, saying, "Our contract states that if I dare to cheat, I will be blacklisted by him. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life living in the mountains eating noodles!"
"Regardless, we have a long way to go. Don’t worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will stand by your side. I’ll go make a call to the company first. Since Ming is on leave, let’s just forget about it."
Li Xiaoran sneakily floated away, using Lan Baobao's name as cover; there was nothing she couldn't do!
A while later, Lan Baobao returned to the company, her ring sparkling so brightly that it hurt the eyes of those around her.
"Lan Baobao, the manager is looking for you." Amy approached with a flattering demeanor and said slyly, "It should be about your personnel transfer. Be careful!"
Personnel transfer? Lan Baobao nodded and smiled, "Thank you, I understand. I'll go right away!"
As soon as she entered the manager's office, she heard a loud laugh: "Oh, Sister Lan, you’re here! We’ve been waiting for you! Come here, let me introduce you. This is the president's Assistant, Assistant Lin. He’s quite capable!"
"Assistant Lin, nice to meet you!"
Lan Baobao had seen this man at the engagement ceremony but hadn’t paid much attention at the time. Now, as she discreetly observed him, she noted that Assistant Lin had fair skin—rare for a man—almost childlike in its softness. His features were average and couldn’t compare to Ye Zixun, but he had a masculine and upright appearance that gave off a sense of security. He wore a simple black suit that was not particularly expensive but exuded taste and style.
